[@osimhenmichael8612]

Nice history lesson. I wish Nigeria could be United

[@THERECOVERY90]

That would be nice but the country was constructed to be controlled, not cohesive. So by now they need to allow for Biafra.

[@chrisarchy3940]

Nigeria can never be united. How do you expect people who reason differently to be united? It's impossible.

[@imadedarlington9965]

All our politicians from independence has never been patriotic, they only care about themselves. I weep for Nigeria

[@emperortemi8762]

Nnamdi Azikiwe and Tafawa Balewa join hands together to destroy Awolowo by creating Midwestern Region from Western region and they sent Awolowo to 10 years in prison in 1963 for Treasonable felony ...the same offence they charge Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Adeyemo Ighoho today

[@Arnolddemoiselle]

On point my brother .

[@tafidagadzama9964]

You are missing the point and you can never win anything against the north. You can talk but our response is huge.

[@Fontabele]

Sunday Igboho never committed Treason. He was never charged for Treason.

[@Fontabele]

Ghana got her independence before Nigeria so, how is Nigeria's independence a model for Africa? What is giant about Nigeria besides the population of confused people?

[@landamalome2077]

If not for the greed of igbos, the first republic was the best system. Each region ran their own government. The thirst for power by the igbos is what sent Nigeria into the dark ages.

[@Olisaeh]

Lol tf?

[@rabs2727]

@Ach Lamba, Absolutely without question!!! Sadly that is why the country lurches from one problem to another! Shortsightedness, pompous egos, greed and misplaced priorities blinded the coup leaders!!!!!

[@musical_lolu4811]

Yeah keep telling yourself that.

[@wilsoniloh4161]

On the contrary you are a testament to the problems of this country and the reason why we shouldn't have been in the same country in the first place. I even think your comment is just to derail the topic.

[@idhujephthah121]

Ach Lamba, pls be neutral and it will be good not to let sentiment cloud your judgement. I would also advise you learn to Listen because it will help you make good sound judgement. 1: The Northern elite were power drunk and dominated the minority with policies that were not for the favour of the nation as a whole. 2: the coup exposed the corruption of the day. And many others issues that motivated the coup. So it will be good not to be bias my friend
